Hi there I joined last week but I felt very difficult counting calories. I got control on portion size during the week avoided sugary foods as well. I am using only walk on treadmill 3 or 4 times a weeks time.I lost 1/2 kg or more.I also need advice on nhs12weels fitness plan.Anyone who joined this plan ,as I am no used to for running .I was 73kgs now 72.looking for the kind words.

You are doing very well! You lost 1/2 kg in 1 week! Fantastic! Just keep doing what you are doing as it seems to be working. Who cares what you are doing as long it is healthy and you are loosing. I am exactly like you I could not do calorie counting I found also it was too difficult and I lost 1.5 stones since November. You cut out sugar which is great!

Regarding the NHS sorry I can't help as I don't do it. I just walk/run in the park. You are going on the treadmill that is great!

I also don't eat any yeast, red meat, dairy, eggs and sugar. Sometimes I do cheat. I used to count points but now I already know. I eat fruits and vegg, bit of nuts if I do fancy a snack. I eat 3 healthy meals plus a drink only water Fill up on water. My last meal is 6 but should be not later than 7. I also make sure to walk every other day for at least an hour could be longer.

How helpful you are,so kind of you.Thank you soooo... Much for the details. I love water to drink a lot too.But I love boiled eggs and skimmed milk too.I feel they are good foods for my health but sugar is a big nooooo......

Sorry I should have been very clear eggs d milk are permitted but I just don't eat it due to endo. When I was eating eggs and milk I was still loosing as I was counting everything in my points. in other words I used to go to weight watches. I still have the book with all the points and i jut used to cunt my points and only eat within my limit. Yes you may eat everything but like you are doing just smaller portions. The fact that you cut out sugar is excellent as that is very high in calories. You are doing great!

For me and this might help, I cut out all refined sugar, believe me I was a real pudding/cake type of girl, now I just don't have them, only good yogurt and sugar free jelly, it has made a huge difference in my weight loss. Also if I feel the need for bread I buy just 1 roll, never a loaf?

Thanks for your answer as also love to have cake or any pudding after or anytime of the day.It's difficult sometimes it's in front of me but I don't eat,I can feel this resistance its all because of the motivation me getting from here.

Well done on your weight loss so far. Are you using the treadmill at home or at a gym? Speed/level and cals burned?

I and many others in here use myfitnesspal app input all food, counts your steps but I don't put in my exercise cals because 1 day is cardio and the next is strenght-abs-core etc. Try doing that as well as the treadmill.

My fitnesspal is free, easy to use and will shock you has it measures cals, carbs, protein and micronutrients.

If you like noodles/rice try barenaked they are either in gluten free/rice section low in cals and carbs but £2 a pack does 2 meals. Basmati rice I find is better than whole or brown. Make sure you eat some form of protein after your workout. These are all things I have learnt on my journey.

I go to puregym and don't have the guts to do run or anything like that. Gym is enough. Are you going to do one? Sounds like you have the treadmill planned out right. Do whatever works for you as long as you succeed.
